A graduate of St. Mary's College of Nursing in San Francisco, she held many positions from practicing nurse to Nursing Supervisor at various Bay Area hospitals, who after "retirement", stayed on as extra help with her extended family and friends at San Mateo County General.

She was rewarded for her long standing love of baseball and the San Francisco Giants to be able to witness their World Series Championship last year.

Along with yearly spring training vacations, she went to Europe twice, Japan, New Zealand, and an Alaskan cruise for her 80th birthday.

Her love of reading and knitting were gifts she shared with her daughters, extended family, friends, and co-workers. Many babies have been wrapped in blankets made with her love.

The family would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to the staff of Kaiser Hospital in Redwood City for the exemplary care of our mother and ourselves during her final days.

In lieu of flowers, please make a donation in Maxine's name to a charity of your choice.
